FireFox will not save passwords even when set up to do so.

Even thought I've foillowed all the instructions for saving password FireFox does not ask to nor does it save my passwords.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

  • Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

    After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.

  • Firefox will not save my passwords

    Firefox will not save my usernames and passwords. When I enter a password on a site FF will ask me if it wants to remember it. I always click "Remember Password". When I go to options>security>saved passwords it's always a blank field and I have no sites listed under exceptions.

    I'm having a problem where Windows Live login won't remember both of my ID's. In FF 3.6, I used to be able to click in the empty username field and select which ID I wanted to use but since upgrading to FF 4.0, I can no longer do this.
    I don't want it to remember passwords, just usernames....help pls.

  • I photo will not email photos even when my email address is correct and I am on line. Is there a setting a I have missed? It used to work :-)

    i photo will not email photos even when the email address is correct and I am online. I get a message that my server is maybe down but it is not. Anything to do with a setting I have missed? Thank you

    In iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete and re-enter the information for that account
    Or better yet IMHO set Apple Mail as the e-mail client

  • Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.

    light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.  Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire.  It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down. 

    more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update.  I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen.  I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it.  Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month.

    Hi Nuch1,
    I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
    Hope that helps,

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • Firefox will not save Site Certificate Exceptions even when checked to do so.

    I have a publicly free Wifi Access point near by that I use daily. When logging on to this site I get a Warning about the Sites Certificate and do I want to proceed, I choose YES and then are asked if I want to make this exception permanent and I put a check mark in the box for yes and press accept. This is suppose to permanently accept this websites certificate in the future. It does not.. It will not save the exception from one session to the next.
    IN SHORT: Firefox failure to permanently store website Certificate exceptions.

  • Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?

    I'm using Firefox 4.01 and it will not save my connections settings when I set them to "No Proxy" keeps defaulting to manual therefore it wont load any pages until I change it to "No Proxy" which I have to do every time I open firefox.

  • Outlook 2013 will not save Compact Navigation Option setting

    We have started upgrading some of the machines in our office from Office 2010 to 2013, (win7 and win 8 machines). I have found that Outlook will not save the selection of "compact navigation" in the "Folder Pane/Options" settings. I
    have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall of office 2013, resetting cleanviews, profile, etc. I cannot get it to save this setting. It always goes back to the extra large "Mail, Calendar, People, tasks" navigation. Any ideas? This is happening on
    muiltiple machines that we have upgraded from Office 2010. 

    Copying answer from similarly asked question:
    FOR THE FIRST STRING (To keep a compact navigation pane):
    Press the START button and type in "regedit"
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>KEY and name it WunderBar. Make sure you have the new key selected.
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 00000001
    FOR THE SECOND STRING (To modify the order of the navigation items):
    With regedit still open.
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>String Value and name it ModuleOrderAB. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
    Adjusting the order of the numbers will adjust the order they appear in. For instance in my case I wanted NOTES to show up fourth so my string is 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9.

  • My acer R7 sometimes will not power on, even when the power light is on, do i have a virus?

    My acer r7 will not power on even with the power light on? Do i have a virus???

    dcdungan,
    If the power light is on, it is powering on. There could be a problem with the display itself or a driver, have you tried connecting an external display and seeing if something comes on the screen?
    Do you see absolutely nothing on the screen when it is powered on, not even the splash screen?

  • Firefox will not save my tabs or prompt asking if I want to save tabs. When it reopens it doesn't even bring up my home pages which have been properly saved. I have tried all the suggested fixes - the problem persists even in safe mode.

    Firefox does not prompt to save my tabs nor does it bring them back when it reopens. It does not even bring up my home page. I have tried the suggested fixes in the help section. This still happens in safe mode so I tried disabling plugins etc. - no change.
